Second Hand Love Letter

The light in the small loft is soft, and the bustling city night view is outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Shi Ran sat at the dining table attached to the island, looked at the face Chen Ruoyu placed in front of him, and sighed, "You actually know how to cook."

"I can only cook noodles." Chen Ruoyu said lightly, and sat opposite Shi Ran with her own portion of noodles, "The chicken soup was stewed by the aunt at home and sent."

Shi Ran raised his eyebrows: "Last year, too?"

"En." Chen Ruoyu nodded.

Shi Ran felt that everything became reasonable, pursed his lower lip, and was a little disgusted: "I'll just say, how can you cook? It's a shame that I was still complimenting your craftsmanship so well."

The voice fell, and Shi Ran saw a hand sticking out of his sight.

Without saying a word, Chen Ruoyu was about to take away the bowl of noodles in front of her.

Shi Ran knew that he had said something wrong, and upon seeing this, he immediately held the noodle he was about to take away from Chen Ruoyu like an old hen protecting a chick, and said, "But your noodles are really well cooked! It seems that the taste of the chicken soup has been boiled in, which is especially worthy of praise!"

Chen Ruoyu said nothing, just looked at the person in front of her who was watching her with a smile.

Those black, clear eyes were written with apology to please, and the curved fox eyes were a little swollen because they had just woken up.

In fact, Chen Ruoyu wasn't angry either, just bluffing Shiran.

She stared at the smiling eyes for a while, then let go.

Shi Ran hurriedly pulled her precious chicken noodle soup in front of her. After she was tempted by the food for so long, she couldn't help but lowered her head and took a mouthful of noodles.

The aroma of chicken soup still reverberates in the mouth, and the empty stomach is greatly satisfied.

Shi Ran held it in front of him and said to Chen Ruoyu, "Your auntie's craftsmanship is really good. I haven't had such delicious chicken noodle soup for a long time."

Seeing that Shi Ran liked it, Chen Ruoyu said to her, "There is leftover chicken soup. I have packed it in a crisper and put it in the refrigerator for you. You can drink it when you get home from get off work these few nights."

Shi Ran was surprised: "So sweet?"

"Yeah." Chen Ruoyu replied lightly.

Shi Ran was wrong: "Chen Ruoyu, does your aunt still work part-time?"

Chen Ruoyu looked up at Shi Ran and said nothing.

In fact, Aunt Yan did the job of distributing the chicken soup, but she was the one who asked Aunt Yan to do it.

The lights above the two of them lit up the small space, and Shi Ran saw Chen Ruoyu's expressionless expression, thinking she was thinking seriously, and smiled twice with crooked eyes: "I said you took it seriously, I'm just kidding."

After speaking, Shi Ran sank again, and the other party explained what he said at the beginning: "Actually, I was teasing you at the beginning, I didn't mean to dislike you, not at all. Someone can tell me I'm quite content with eating."

Shi Ran said that she was very sincere, that is, this sincerity made Chen Ruoyu feel a little distressed.

She regretted coming back so late.

In a strange way, Chen Ruoyu stretched out her hand and pinned the long strand of hair hanging on the side of Shi Ran's face behind her ear, and asked in a light voice, "Does your stomach still hurt?"

Warm fingers brushed Shi Ran's auricles with the dampness of steam, and smooth trimmed nails gently stroked the long hair behind the ears.

Shi Ran could hear the sound of his hair being swayed by his fingernails, and the temperature of his auricle was astonishingly hot.

She was a little uncomfortable with the kindness that others gave her, so she shook her head shyly and replied, "It doesn't hurt anymore."

"Protect yourself." Chen Ruoyu urged, her voice gently drifted into Shi Ran's ears.

She said it seriously, and there seemed to be other meanings in her cold eyes.

Shi Ran couldn't tell the difference, but he still took this sentence to heart and nodded: "I will."

Years later, the Final Studio has entered a more busy state. There are not many members of the team, and one person can't wait to split it into two people.

Not only did the project not flow away, but it was put on the agenda earlier. After a meeting, the game project codenamed S3L2 in YT Games was officially named "Apostle".

The breath of spring urges the withered trees of the winter to grow lush leaves, and the world is full of life.

The weather on April Fool's Day was exceptionally good. The sun seemed to know that the last closed beta test of "The Apostle" was about to start today. The beautiful sunshine greeted her.

The green light at the intersection turned into a red light just after Shi Ran stopped. Although it was a bit unfortunate, it did not affect her good mood for the day. The original painting didn't work overtime yesterday, she rarely got a good night's sleep, and everything became pleasing to the eye.

After waiting for a round of traffic lights, Shi Ran walked to the basement of the company building and saw a familiar person walking out of the coffee shop downstairs from a distance.

It is Chen Ruoyu.

"Qiao." Shi Ran greeted.

"Yeah." Chen Ruoyu nodded in response.

Although it is said that two people will keep a certain distance at work, in fact, Shi Ran still gets some blatant convenience.

The lobby of YT was full of colleagues who were busy coming to work. Shi Ran swiped the card twice and put Chen Ruoyu and himself in one after another, and followed her to the private elevator on the other side.

The silver-white elevator door slowly closed, and as the upward arrow flickered on one side, Shi Ran's serious appearance also collapsed.

She leaned against the wall on one side, and said to Chen Ruoyu cheaply: "Fortunately, I met you this morning, otherwise it would be tiring to squeeze the elevator."

Chen Ruoyu did not respond to Shi Ran's words, but handed her the coffee in her hand: "Here."

Shi Ran looked at it, and did not take the coffee that Chen Ruoyu handed him, but looked at her other hand holding the coffee, and said, "How did you know that you would meet me this morning, or your second cup of coffee? Is it for another sister?"

Chen Ruoyu felt that Shi Ran's remarks were a bit interesting, and repeated as if smacking: "Sister?"

Shi Ran raised his eyebrows, raised his eyes and asked, "Why, who called my sister in the underground parking lot that day?"

Her hair fell over her shoulders as she held her head up, revealing the black choker around her neck.

The lights in the elevator were champagne gold with a bit of warm color, which fell on Shi Ran's crimson lips, showing a kind of flamboyant and eye-catching sexy.

Chen Ruoyu's eyes that were still in the still water suddenly heated up.

She kind of wants to kiss this person here.

The elevator was a little quiet, except for the faint sound of the machine running at a constant speed.

Seeing that the person opposite him had not replied to him for a long time, Shi Ran was a little dissatisfied: "Why don't you remember it after so long?"

Chen Ruoyu was startled for a second.

She looked at the numbers that were about to approach the studio floor, pressed the impulse in her heart, and explained to Shi Ran calmly, "You were standing across the road at that time."

"So that's what happened." Shi Ran's trust in Chen Ruoyu came easily, and after hearing her explanation, he took the coffee from her hand, "Thanks."

"You're welcome." Chen Ruoyu replied.

In three words, the elevator stopped at the floor where the studio was located.

The silver door slowly opened in front of the two of them, Shi Ran stepped out of the elevator first, took Chen Ruoyu's coffee, said to her "then I'll go first", and hurriedly walked towards the check-in place like a fox go.

Chen Ruoyu watched Shi Ran leave, and walked out of the elevator unhurriedly.

She shook the coffee in the handshake and thought silently in her heart: let's go tonight.

After successfully punching the card, Shi Ran walked briskly into the art group.

Before she could take out her mobile phone and call the water group, she heard someone talking.

"It's an April Fool's joke."

"I hope so, but the game launched over there is obviously going to be against us."

"We officially announced today that we will not delete the internal test. He will show the internal test card today. This is definitely intentional."

"It's just to grab a market share, it's really leprosy crawling on the feet, not biting people."

…

Shi Ran was a little confused, but he also felt the low pressure of the art team.

The happy atmosphere when she got off work yesterday was gone, she sat back to the station with a confused look, tugged on Xiaoba's sleeve, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter? The closed test started today is not smooth? "

"No." Xiaoba shook his head and explained helplessly: "It's Orange Games. Their family has also launched a card game this year, and it has already started to warm up on Weibo today."

"Is that public beta?" Shi Ran asked again.

"No, but it's already decided. The public beta will be officially launched on the 4th of this month, isn't it already warming up?" Xu Mengtian poked the hot search on Weibo, and said contemptuously, "I really made a fortune last year. , I have spare money to buy hot searches in advance, and I still have three days in advance."

"This is a typical upstart behavior." Xiaoba complained, and shared with Xu Mengtian: "Hey, you know, I heard that this time, the one in charge of this game is the one who crushed our next-door development studio last year. studio."

Xu Mengtian nodded: "Yeah, Artin from the planning side also said that the oranges decided to release the cards today because of the rumors from our YT side, and you know, they are still reintegrating the two projects, Hurry up and hurry to get ahead of us."

"Damn, are they trying to push us to become addicted?"

"Listen to the date they set the server to start. It's April 4th, April 4th, I think it should die earlier."

…

Shi Ran couldn't help frowning when he heard Xiao Ba and Xu Mengtian's rants.

The hand holding the coffee tightened, but she still remembered that she and Chen Ruoyu had an "old classmate" in the orange game.

I'm afraid this time it's not just Orange Games that wants to crush their YT, it's very likely that there is another layer of unknown personal grievances that have been entrained with private goods.

The clock of 9:29 became 9:30 on time, and the Weibo of Orange Games was released on time.

In the low pressure of the entire art group, Big Bear walked over holding his phone as if he was facing a big enemy, his heavy body shaking with the whole ground: "Aran, come and have a look."

Hearing the words, Xiao Ba immediately leaned in to take a look. The moment he opened the picture, his eyes widened.

She pointed to the extraordinarily magnificent and sacred painting style on the screen, and couldn't help scolding: "Damn it, why are the character cards they revealed so similar to Aran's Icarus series?"
